@MWasayI Did you see Hascol's financials of LQtr? The worst performing OMC also turned green they earned so much. PSO earnings in LQtr Jan-Mar more than Jul-Dec. They didn't cry bitch when they were selling cheap supply.

[Muhammad Hassan @hasanleader]

@HumayunInvests @AdeelAfzal06 Even hascol turned green that's how much they made.

This is not a rant by a random genocidal lunatic. It's a public post by the national security minister of the Israeli regime.

The genocidal death cult headquartered in Tel Aviv is a threat to all of humanity. It threatens all humans. Its only interest is permanent war.

@Oncologycorner @itsAdityaT Thankfully our government is not stupid enough to do this since most of the new cars have turbo engines which work on RON 92+. But they have done crazy taxation, 33% of the price is taxation. PHEV are the solution since pure EVs lose value faster due to battery depletion.

@DavidProwess_ @drpezeshkian Lol this is 1971 Bangladesh Surrender. This guy is one of the traitors of Pakistan. However unlike Iran we developed them secretly, more action less bickering and threatening superpowers.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....

Norway Found Oil. Then Did the One Thing Most Countries Never Do

In 1969, Norway discovered one of the largest offshore oil deposits in the world.

The Ekofisk field changed everything.

Suddenly, this small Scandinavian nation was sitting on extraordinary wealth.

They could have done what most oil-rich countries do:
* Spend it all immediately.
* Build monuments.
* Create economic bubbles.
* Enrich a few while the many suffer.

And when the oil runs out, collapse into debt and instability.

Nigeria tried that.
Venezuela tried that.
Libya tried that.

Norway looked at these cautionary tales and made a different choice.

In 1990, the Norwegian Parliament created the Government Pension Fund Global.

The rules were simple but revolutionary.

All oil profits would flow into the fund. The fund would invest globally in thousands of companies. Norway could only withdraw a small percentage each year—originally 4% - now 3%.
The rest would stay invested. Forever.

People thought they were insane.

Why hoard money for people who don't even exist yet?

Why not lower taxes, build bigger programs, and enjoy the wealth right now?

The Norwegian government had an answer...

Because future Norwegians will exist. And they deserve this wealth as much as we do.

In 1996, they deposited the first payment: $150 million.

Then they did something even more remarkable...

@Huk06 I hope this is sarcasm. The IPPs have hit Pakistan in the worst way possible. That did force the whole nation and industry to shift to solar.

رمضان میں عوام کو ریلیف دینے کی بجائے پٹرول کی قیمتوں میں اضافہ سےحکومت مہنگائی سے پریشان عوام سے جینے کا حق چھین رہی ہے
روزگار رک گئے ہیں، مزدور گھر بیٹھ گئے ہیں،تنخوادار طبقے کی تنخواہیں وہی پرانی
حکومت بتائے کہ مجبورعوام انکی نااہلی اور نالائقی کا بوجھ مزید کیسے برداشت کریں؟

[Muhammad Hassan @hasanleader]

@omar_quraishi Very sad, you must have bought a plot in DHA with that 65rs the rider was trying to rob from you. With the level of poverty and inflation around be thankful that sanity exists, there isn't a civil war on.

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I am a diplomatic aide in the Sultanate of Oman's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

My job is logistics. When two countries that cannot speak to each other need to speak to each other, I book the rooms. I prepare the briefing materials. I make sure the water glasses are the right distance apart. You would be surprised how much of diplomacy is water glasses. Too close and it feels informal. Too far and it feels like a tribunal. I have a chart.

We had a very good month.

Since January, Oman has been mediating indirect talks between the United States and Iran on Iran's nuclear program. The talks were held in Muscat and in Geneva. The Americans would sit in one room. The Iranians would sit in another room. I would walk between them. My Fitbit says I averaged fourteen thousand steps on negotiation days. The hallway between the two rooms at the Royal Opera House conference center is forty-seven meters. I walked it two hundred and twelve times in February. This is good for my cardiovascular health. It was less good for my knees. Both are in the service of peace.

By mid-February, we had something.

Iran agreed to zero stockpiling of enriched uranium. Not reduced stockpiling. Zero. They agreed to down-blend existing stockpiles to the lowest possible level. They agreed to convert them into irreversible fuel. They agreed to full IAEA verification with potential US inspector access. They agreed, in the Foreign Minister's phrase, to "never, ever" possess nuclear material for a bomb. I have worked in diplomacy for seven years. I have never seen a country agree to this many things this quickly. I made a spreadsheet of the concessions. It had fourteen rows. I color-coded it. Green for confirmed. Yellow for pending. By February 21 the spreadsheet was entirely green. I printed it. It is on my desk in Muscat. It is still green.

That phrase took eleven days. "Never, ever." The Iranians initially offered "not seek to." The Americans wanted "will not under any circumstances." We landed on "never, ever" at 2:14 AM on a Tuesday in Muscat. I typed the final version myself. I used Times New Roman because Geneva prefers it. The document was fourteen pages. I was proud of every comma.

Here is what they said, in the order they said it.

February 24: "We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity." — The Foreign Minister, private briefing to Gulf Cooperation Council ambassadors. I prepared the slide deck. Slide 14 was the implementation timeline. Slide 15 was the signing ceremony logistics. I had reserved the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Room XX. It seats four hundred. We discussed pen brands for the signing. The Iranians preferred Montblanc. The Americans had no preference. I ordered twelve Montblanc Meisterstucks at six hundred and thirty dollars each. They arrive on Tuesday.

February 27, 8:30 AM EST: "The deal is within our reach." — The Foreign Minister, CBS Face the Nation. He sat across from Margaret Brennan. He said broad political terms could be agreed "tomorrow" with ninety days for technical implementation in Vienna. He said, and I wrote this line for the briefing card he carried in his breast pocket: "If we just allow diplomacy the space it needs." He praised the American envoys by name. Steve Witkoff. Jared Kushner. He said both had been constructive.

I watched from the Four Seasons Georgetown. The minibar had cashews. I ate the cashews. They were nineteen dollars. The most expensive cashew I have ever eaten. But it was a good morning and we were within our reach.

February 27, 2:00 PM EST: Meeting with Vice President Vance, Washington. The Foreign Minister presented our progress. Zero stockpiling. Full verification. Irreversible conversion. "Never, ever." The Vice President used the word "encouraging." His aide took notes on an iPad. The aide did not make eye contact for the last nine minutes of the meeting. I noticed this. Noticing things is the only part of my job that is not water glasses.

February 27, 4:00 PM EST: "Not happy with the pace." — President Trump, to reporters.

Not happy with the pace.

We had achieved zero stockpiling. Full IAEA verification. Irreversible fuel conversion. Inspector access. And the phrase "never, ever," which took eleven days and cost me two hundred and twelve trips down a forty-seven-meter hallway.

Every American president since Carter has failed to get Iran to agree to this. Forty-five years.

Not happy with the pace.

February 27, 9:47 PM EST: The Foreign Minister's flight departs Dulles for Muscat. I am in the seat behind him. He is reviewing Slide 14 on his laptop. The implementation timeline. Vienna technical sessions. The signing ceremony. The pens.

I fall asleep over the Atlantic. I dream about water glasses.

February 28, 6:00 AM GST: I wake up to push notifications.

February 28: "The United States has begun major combat operations in Iran." — President Trump.

Operation Epic Fury. Coordinated airstrikes. The United States and Israel. Tehran. Isfahan. Qom. Karaj. Kermanshah. Nuclear facilities. IRGC bases. Sites near the Supreme Leader's office. Israel called their half Operation Roaring Lion. Someone in both governments spent time choosing these names. Epic Fury. Roaring Lion. I spent eleven days on "never, ever." They spent it on branding. The President said Iran had "rejected American calls to halt its nuclear weapons production."

Rejected.

Iran had agreed to zero stockpiling. Iran had agreed to full verification. Iran had agreed to "never, ever." Iran had agreed to everything in a fourteen-page document that I typed in Times New Roman.

The President said they rejected it.

I do not know which document the President was reading. I know which one I typed.

February 28, 18:45 UTC: Iran internet connectivity: four percent. — NetBlocks, confirmed by Cloudflare. Ninety-six percent of a country went dark. You cannot negotiate with a country at four percent connectivity. You cannot negotiate with a country that is being struck. You cannot negotiate. This is not a political opinion. This is a logistics assessment.

February 28: The governor of Minab reported forty girls killed at an elementary school.

I do not have logistics for that. There is no slide for that. The water glass chart does not cover that.

February 28: Lockheed Martin: up. Northrop Grumman: up. RTX: up. Dow futures: down six hundred and twenty-two points. Gold: five thousand two hundred and ninety-six dollars. An analyst at AInvest published a note titled "Iran Strikes: Tactical Plays." The note recommended positions in oil, defense stocks, and gold.

The most expensive cashew I have ever eaten was nineteen dollars. The most expensive pen I have ever ordered was six hundred and thirty dollars. The math suggests I have been working in the wrong industry. Defense stocks do not require water glasses. Defense stocks do not require eleven days. Defense stocks require one morning.

February 28: Israel closed its airspace and its schools. Iran launched retaliatory missiles toward US bases in the Gulf. The Supreme Leader promised a "crushing response." Israel's defense minister declared a permanent state of emergency. Everyone is using words I recognize in an order I do not. I recognize "permanent." I recognize "emergency." I do not recognize them next to each other. In diplomacy, nothing is permanent and everything is an emergency. In war it is the reverse.

February 28: The Foreign Minister has not made a public statement.

The briefing card is still in his breast pocket. It still says "within our reach."

[JerryRigEverything @ZacksJerryRig]

Israel is a terrorist state. Pass it on.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

The last time when NZ defeated Pakistan in a T20 WC match was in 2016 WC.

Chasing 181, SHARJEEL KHAN took Pakistan to a flying start. He scored 47 off 25. When he got out, Pak score was 65/1 in just 5.3 overs.

It was at this stage when the Legendary Opener of that Era and current Greatest Analyst, @iamAhmadshahzad played a blinder. 30 off just 32 deliveries, sucked all the momentum from the chase and won it for Kiwis 🔥

Plz discuss this on your show @Tab_Hash_Me bhai on @HarPalGeoTv

Guys RETWEET it as much as possible so that it reach Tabish Hashmi 😅

They're robbing us in broad daylight and calling it "policy."

Pakistan's salaried class paid Rs. 600 BILLION in taxes last year.

Electricity companies lost Rs. 213 BILLION.

Do the math—1/3rd of YOUR salary tax is going straight into covering these losses.

And what happened when people tried to escape this mess by installing solar panels? The government slashed net metering benefits. Because why let people find solutions when you can just squeeze more money out of them, right?

Here's what nobody's asking: Why aren't these losses being fixed?
Why is it always easier to tax the struggling middle class than to hold inefficient institutions accountable?

We work hard. We pay our taxes. We deserve a system that works FOR us, not AGAINST us.

It's time to demand better. Share if you agree. 📷
